Individual pitch control is seen as a promising control technique for load reduction of the rotor blades in megawatt wind turbines. As the rotor blades are getting bigger and bigger, the asymmetric loads due to wind speed variations across the rotor area are increasing, too. Modern wind turbines include individual pitch actuators for every blade and the control effort is also reasonable. This is why...
The in-field validation of wind turbines (WTs) behavior is very time consuming and cost intensive, especially when fault ride-through tests are conducted. Full-size wind-turbine test benches allow a realistic operation of WTs in an artificial environment. Due to the independency of wind and grid conditions, the cost and duration of the test program and certification can be reduced. This paper presents...
In this article, Power generation system model includes a turbine model of wind system, PMSG model, and a Simulink model of drive train. The generated power through the wind power plant is fed to three phase linear and non-linear load. The power electronics based shunt connected custom power devices are used to suppress the power quality problems at constant speed turbine. The objective of this paper...
In this paper, a detailed model of a 2 MW wind turbine system with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), including the aerodynamics, the mechanics, and the electrical domain is presented. It is then used to examine the influences of the level of detail in the model of a wind turbine system on the calculated lifetime consumption of the converter's power modules. This is done by comparing...
This paper presents an autonomous frequency and voltage control strategy for a standalone doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The main aim of this study is to keep stator frequency as well as stator voltage at the desired value under different load and variable wind speed conditions without using position sensor. The proposed sensorless method is based on the detection of the stator frequency and...
To reduce the blades asymmetric loads of large wind turbines operated in the above-rated wind speed region, this work proposes a model predictive individual pitch controller with the linear interpolation model. Results show a significant reduction of 1P (once-per-revolution), 2P, 4P blade asymmetric loads within the limits of pitch rate. The proposed model of wind turbine can describe the characteristic...
This paper presents the modeling of wind energy systems using MATLAB Simulink. The model considers the MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technique to track the maximum power that could be extracted from the wind energy, due the non-linear characteristic of the wind turbine. The model consists of wind generation model, converter model (DC-DC converter), and MPPT controller. The main contribution...
Understanding the significance and prospects of self-excited induction generators (SEIGs) in wind ener-gy application, this paper elucidates the significance of incorporating the proximity effect in the conventional model of SEIG. An analytical model to incorporate the proximity effect in the rectangular rotor bars of the SEIG is developed and built into a computer program to elicit the accuracy of...
Method for wind turbine controller design and test in laboratory still remains a problem. This paper presents a realtime simulator of non-grid-connected wind energy conversion system suitable for controller design and test. The simulation model, which is composed of a fixed-pitch wind turbine, a permanent magnet synchronous generator with PWM voltage source vector control and DC-DC converter with...
Renewable energy sources have the ability to provide electric power in rural areas whenever available. Although it is cheap, clean and abundant, the variation of output power with the variation of wind speed can cause significant power quality issues, especially in the case of a standalone generation system. This paper studies a network presenting a rural load, such as a small village, fed from a...
The use of wind energy for generating electricity has been constantly and rapidly increasing over last few decades and this growth is expected to continue. In order to enable even greater role of wind energy in power production wind turbinespsila sizes and rated powers must increase. As wind turbines grow in size they are subjected to extreme loads and fatigue caused by uniform turbulent winds. This...
This work considers the seldomly treated case of rotor turn-to-turn fault of a doubly-fed induction generator. This fault can take place where the doubly-fed induction generator is a standard solution in wind power stations. For investigations an error-adoptable three phase machine model is derived and simulated. Furthermore the model is integrated in a wind energy plant model and simulated for a...
